Mojo Monday 238

This is my card for the Mojo Monday 238 sketch.  The card base is Gina K Designs' soft sand card stock.  I used a Spellbinders' scalloped square die to cut the squares from three patterned papers by My Mind's Eye.  The panel for the focal image is more soft sand card stock cut using Marvy Uchida's scalloped circle punch.  The floral image and sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Autumn Abundance stamp set.  To color the floral image, I used Marvy LePlume II markers #68 daffodil yellow and #36 manganese blue and for the leaves, Prismacolor pencil #PC912 apple green.  The sentiment was inked with the manganese blue marker and stamped onto white card stock and then cut into a tag shape.  I attached the tag to the Offray ribbon bow to finish the card.

Mojo Monday 237

I had a chance to participate and make a card for the current Mojo Monday 237 sketch challenge.  The flower image is an Inkadinkado stamp.  I stamped the image several times and colored them with Prismacolor pencils and odorless mineral spirits.  It's a small image but it made for good practice because this was my first time using the mineral spirits.  The patterned paper is by Hot Off the Press.  I adhered it to some light purple card stock from my stash that I had punched with the Martha Stewart zig-zag edge punch.  I cut out the flowers and adhered each with some dimensional adhesive.  I added some lovely sheer ribbon by Michaels.  The sentiment is from a stamp I found in the dollar bin at a local craft store.  The card base is Stampin Up's Perfect Plum card stock.

Mojo Monday 137

This weekend, I had a chance to get crafty and make a card for the Mojo Monday 137 sketch.


For the focal image panel, I used some scrap paper to hand cut some clouds to use for a mask. After placing them onto the white card stock, I sponged on the sea breeze ink to make the sky background. I used Verve Stamps' Miracles Blossom stamp set for the focal image on this card. I stamped the flower stems directly onto the panel and colored them with markers. I also added some streaks of grass to ground the image. I stamped, colored, cut and adhered the flowers to the panel. The sentiment is from Say it With Flowers from GKD. I embossed the strip of card stock with the Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder and added ribbon that to tie in the color of the flowers and brads.

Supplies:
Miracles Blossom stamp set (Verve Stamps)
Say it with Flowers stamp set (Gina K. Designs)
My Mind's Eye patterned paper

Mojo36 sketch

I liked the card here
so I decided to follow the sketch. I'm a little late but I'm happy to have completed a card using this sketch. I used Marcella K patterned paper I bought from Target. The stamped message and flower are Ink Boutique stamps, which I embossed. I covered the card base with pink DCWV card stock then some black card stock from my stash before adding the patterned paper, another layer of DCWV card stock and black sheer ribbon. I also added some faux stitching but I think I should have poked holes to make it look more like stitching. Well, hey, it was my first time doing this technique on a card, lol.
